OK, first of all thanks. I googled the warnings that showed up before hitting the build button instead, but it seems to be working. Thanks.

To think that I set Netbeans to build and run for "release" instead of "debug" and the fact that this error still happens and through total random probability is still totaly retarted. I was already in the midsts of learning how to create a makefile and simply compiling it from the commandline.

There's still hope :')

Well, you might want to try something else. I personally use KDevelop and Qt Creator, both of which support CMake and both are not really tied to writing KDE and Qt applications but rather anything you want.

Of the two, Qt Creator is the most easy and pleasant to use, but still very powerful.

Strangely, a normal editor is often much easier than a so-called IDE. (for non-gui apps of course)

Pick any that has syntax highlighting for your language, be happy.

Yes indeed. I previously always used a simple text editor with syntax highlighting. I never had any trouble compiling with gcc and g++.

But when I saw Netbeans with svn integration, memory usage analysis with memmory leak detection, CPU usuage with 'hot spots' detection and thread analysis with sync problem detection I thought "Hey well that's gonna pay off". Couple that with project management (having a lot of files in multiple directories can start to get a mess) and I was sold.

The IDEs seem to be pretty productive, powerful and efficient. However that comes at a 'price' of having to learn everything by manual as nothing is realy obvious when you just start it up for the first time.

Under Windows I ran into Visual Studio a long time ago and I couldn't understand anything of what I saw, but it makes a lot more sence now

I realy like the fact that you can simply smash the build button and then the run instead of going to the terminal. Dolphin makes this a little easyer (read: faster) for me as I have a terminal 'bar' under it (a godsend when you'r messing with Wine).

Other than that, it depends on your workflow, so to speak. I like the 'everything in one window'-approach of the IDE, but I can also see why others prefer 'bare handed'-working
